Lahat ng Kabanata ng Iris: The Mafia’s Bride : Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

Arthur's POV I'm not sure of what reaction to give to Kelvin's mastery of lies, I could only marvel at him. I noticed his eyes were fixated on mine, and he didn't flinch, though he looked tensed, yet he was able to perfectly mask it. Our training wasn't in vain, and he was using it to his advantage at the moment. It was just hard having to stand before the one person I would lay down my life for and watch him betraying me without blinking an eye. He chuckled nervously and ran his fingers through his hair; an action of his that signified that he was gaining more confidence and would lie through his teeth. I sighed quietly and was grateful that I knew him really well; hence I would have an internal conflict even with all the evidence I've gathered against him. We were sworn into brotherhood and have gone through a series of hell for one another, we've dined with demons and betrayed the devil himself just to support one another, but his betrayal hurt more than the scars I've amassed

Iris POVAfter hours of sleeplessness due to excitement, the day finally broke. I couldn't contain my happiness as my stepsisters helped me get dressed. I enjoyed their teasing as they volunteered to bathe me and even went as far as giving me tips on how to have a pleasant first night with him. We joked around a little more before they began to dress me in the perfect gown I had bought.I looked stunning in my wedding gown and my make-up was to die for, I almost teared up seeing my reflection in the mirror, but my sisters were quick to remind me not to ruin my make-up, and it made me even more emotional. Kelvin texted me a beautiful message relaying how he couldn't wait to be married to me for the rest of his life, and I blushed.My sisters didn't help the issues as they snatched my phone and teased me by calling me a lover girl. I was left for a few minutes as I said a goodbye to the house. I exhaled sharply, knowing that I'd never step foot in the house anymore. My bridesmaids we'r

Arthur's POV Knowing fully well everything Kelvin had planned, I went as far as personally spying on him. I couldn't wait for the arrival of his supposed wedding day with Iris. As I equipped myself with enough ammunition and information about the guests in attendance, the security and every other person; I drove off to the church to surprise the couples to be. The decoration and organization of the church awed me, I made a mental note to commend Kelvin for his meticulous planning skills. I waited patiently in my car a few blocks away and listened to what was said in the church, I had my men plant cameras and audio devices in the church the day before. I strode casually to the church and arrived just as they about to say their vows. I made a little cross sign and said a little prayer before I opened fire on the men outside. Knowing well that I had caused an uproar, I elegantly walked in to personally deliver my present. The look on the guests' faces were that of fear and despair,

Iris POVArthur looked worried as he stared at me, I was covered in sweat, and he eyed me suspiciously. He hesitated for a second before cautiously approaching me, I stiffened on the bed and relaxed as he moved closer. He sighed before sitting at the edge of the bed, I moved a few inches backwards, and he shook his head, he stretched his hands and touched me.I instantly felt repulsed at how soothing his touch was, he looked me straight in the eye and smiled. My blood boiled, how dare he smile at me when he had ruined my life completely? Was he being serious? I yanked his hands off and frowned at him as he tried once more to touch me. He looked hurt by my actions, but I wanted him to feel a thousand times more the pain I had felt as his pain was nothing compared to mine.I scoffed loudly to show my displeasure at this presence and as he opened his mouth to speak I looked the other way, I waited patiently for him to leave, but it seemed he had other plans, I turned to face him with t

Iris's POVSniffing uncontrollably and still crying profusely, I trued to wrap my head around what I had just heard. It occurred to me that Arthur might be lying to me, but it all sounded too realistic to be faked. I laughed hysterically and cried simultaneously, my world was a lie, my life was a blunt lie. Arthur shifted uncomfortably, and his eyes held regret and pity and I scoffed, I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out.Arthur's feet shuffled, and he made to switch off the computer, I held out my hand and stopped him, whatever was on the drive, there certainly was more there and at this point I didn't know what was real or not anymore, this was a bitter pill, but I was willing to swallow it rather than continue feeding myself with lies.“Is it all true?” I asked, my voice croaky.Arthur sighed loudly and let the computer be, he moved towards me and trued to caress my face, but I moved a decent distance away from me, I needed space, time and literally every other thing.
